Description
The Dew Collector is a crucial item for players looking to secure a sustainable source of water. It allows players to collect dew, providing a reliable means of hydration without having to search for other water sources.
Usage
Once crafted, the Dew Collector can be placed. It takes up a 3x3x3 area of space, though only the central block needs to be supported, and only the central block requires a clear view of the sky. Bars, cube frames, and other 'see-through' shapes placed above the central block will not prevent the Dew Collector from working.
The Dew Collector will gradually fill up with Murky Water over time, which is about 3 bottles per 24 game hours at baseline. There are also 3 tool slots that the Dew Collector can hold which increase the efficiency of water collection.

Heat Map
Even though the Dew Collector is a passive workstation requiring the player only to empty it, it will still increase the Heatmap at the following rates:
HeatMapStrength | 2% |
HeatMapTime | 5000 |
HeatMap Frequency | 1000 |
Every in-game hour is 1000 ticks
This means every Dew Collector (until full) will produce 2% heat per in-game hour to a maximum of 10% after which the heat decay balances out with heat production. A total of 10 Dew Collectors will therefore reach 100% after 5 in-game hours potentially spawning a Screamer.
Notes
- Since Dew Collectors produce heat constantly, one should consider having a separate farm for them rather than directly at your base.
- Broken Dew Collectors can be found randomly at some POIs, having a chance of yielding a Water Filter when broken down. (Requires testing)
